Microsoft Project Integration

The system can import and export project task data to and from Microsoft Project. If you have Project installed on your local computer, import and export buttons appear on the Project Tasks form. This information is exported:

Project name and number
Project tasks
Project Resources
Predecessor tasks
Resource names
Duration
Start date
Finish date.

The system supports two MS Project calendar types:

8 hour: 8:00am to 5:00pm, Monday through Friday.
24 hour: 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

When you open the Project Tasks form, the system analyzes at the Default Shift Calendar. If the calendar includes hours outside of the standard 8:00am to 5:00pm range, then it tells MS Project to use a 24 hour calendar.
